Ignorance is bliss.
Stupidity is suffering. 
Wisdom is release. 
Intelligence is cruel.

All knowledge is pain. 
 
To know is to behold. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Ugliness is in the mind of the avoidant. To behold oneself is the beginning of pain. To avoid oneself is the end of beauty. To imagine oneself is the path of pleasure. 

Beauty anticipates pain.
